No, it does not matter that these universities are not in the Russell Group - it won't make any difference to your career prospects if you get good grades.

Choose whichever course you like best. There will be differences in module options and in the way each course taught and examined (some unis have more coursework than others. Look on the respective English department websites to find more information about course structure and module options.

Also does it matter that these aren't russel groups? I'm applying for English lit, so does it matter less than if I was doing something like law or physics?

All equally strong courses with good levels of student satisfaction. It's entirely up to you where you want to go, but as Snufkin says it's worth looking at the course profiles for each institution. One thing I would say is our location means we often have a lower cost of living compared to other institution - cheaper rents in the private sector in Norwich and we also have some lower priced options for living on campus.

Best of luck with your UCAS and let us know if you have further questions!
